Advocacy Brainstorming Session
Help Shape the Future of Our Work
Over the past few months, we’ve received several new ideas and proposals from partners. We’re inviting you to this session because we see you as the right experts to help assess how these ideas can best serve and benefit our members.
This will be a collaborative brainstorming meeting focused on shaping a more intentional, strategic, and impactful direction for our advocacy efforts.
What initiatives should we pursue? What brings the most value to our members?
Where should we engage and advocate? How do we build sustainable systems that last?
Join us for a 90-minute brainstorming session as we explore these questions.
This session will be led by Planning Consultants of California.
